Watch Shibuya Crossing live
The cameras on this page are run by Shibuya Center Gai. They stream all day, framing the crossing from the main arch above Center Street and from Inokashira Street. The view changes with the hour: the crowd builds, the signal changes, and the scramble fills the junction in every direction.
Best time to watch
The feed never stops, so the scene shifts with the hour and the weather. Late afternoon and evening show the scramble at its busiest, when the crowds are thickest. After dark, the neon signs and screens turn the junction into a wall of light. A rainy hour thins the crowd quickly, and the neon reads best on a clear night, so check back a few times.
